What's At Stake
- Juvenile courts must stop assessing fees and costs to young people and their families when youth face arrest and prosecution. Youth and families may confront insurmountable debts as a result of justice system involvement.
- In our assessment of state systems we have seen youth billed for getting their fingerprints taken, for being held behind bars, for access to an attorney, to file an appeal, and so much more.
- The assessment reports provide strong evidence for why leaders in states should work to eliminate the burdensome juvenile court costs and fees assessed against youth and families. The Gault Center team is proud to work with partners in states who are leading reforms:
